Did you wax the table before putting on the glaze also or you put the glaze straight on the chalk paint? I put dark wax on a small section of a sample wood piece to see what would happen when it is directly applied to chalk paint and it didn't look good at all. Just curious if glaze works differently..Little Moos and My Creative Pink.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08214851598153325221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207385187950724372.post-67452830005429504642011-09-16T22:48:14.854-04:002011-09-16T22:48:14.854-04:00The finished table is amazing - I especially love ...The finished table is amazing - I especially love the color...reminds me of weathered driftwood from the beach :O)<br /><br />Visiting from Feathered Nest Friday ~ hope you have a delightful weekend.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />MarieArabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825144823779695027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207385187950724372.post-58647675126125498192011-09-16T21:38:05.839-04:002011-09-16T21:38:05.839-04:00What a nice redo...I bet your cousin was very happ...What a nice redo...I bet your cousin was very happy and I'm sure she will let you visit the table.<br />Hugs,<br />EllenEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789607863891062851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207385187950724372.post-50665718435875048112011-09-16T19:09:49.182-04:002011-09-16T19:09:49.182-04:00You did a great job, Martina.
